Chapter 5. Facet.
November 24, 2023 at 6:32 AM
And so they began
to rescue the Soulless and take care of the wounded, meanwhile in the main hall
gathered: Kol, Rain, Forester, Sakura. Sakura was surrounded and questioned.
-Tell! Kol
shouted.
Sakura was so
shocked that her voice was calm and her gaze was fixed somewhere in the void.
“He grabbed
me by the arm, pinned me against the wall and shielded me from the bullets.
“What the
fuck were you doing there?!” Rain shouted.
“Panic
brought me there.
-What? The
forester asked.
“You think
you’ve been carrying it for a long time!” Rain shouted.
“He’s the
head of the Reds.
- Yes, it’s
extinguished! Let’s her! Kol shouted and reloaded his rifle.
-Be quiet! The
forester shouted.
- What the fucking
“reds”, they’re long gone.
-Eat.
“That way, we
won’t know the fuck. Stake let’s talk, and you Forester keep an eye on her.
Rain said.
And so, while
smoking, Rain and Kol began to discuss.
“What, do you
think?” Rain asked.
“Oh shit,
that’s all.
“I
understand, but remember that when we walked in, she let him go, and before
that she most likely hugged him.
-Aha. You don’t
read any novels.
- Well, let’s put
the pieces together. If I’m right, she hugged him until we arrived, she couldn’t
kill him, even though she had a gun and no shell casings nearby, and besides,
when I ran up to her, her eyes were blank and she was in tears.
“And your
whole theory collapses on one fact. Cole said, lighting another cigarette.
-What?
“What was she
doing there?”
- Maybe the Reds?
“What are you
doing?” What a fucking “red” they are.
“Do you
remember Panic?” He copied him in everything. You don’t think he decided
to copy it here either.
“That’s
bullshit. Why would he?
“I fucking
know him.”
- And you started
swearing a lot.
-Aha. Talk to
Grad, no books will be enough to recover.
- Do you read?
-Detectives.
- Intellectual
bitch.
“you.”
“So what do
you propose?”
“If he
survives, let her keep an eye on him, and if he dies, we’ll see.”
“Are you sure
you fucking read detective stories?” You’re telling me some lean.
- Better ideas?
- Kill her.
“And what
will you know, then?”
-…
-Exactly.
“What if she
kills him?”
“Then you’ll
kill me for such ideas.”
“Fuck, brave
bitch.
-Aha.
“Okay, fuck
you, let’s see what Block says, but mind you, I’ll kill you first, and then
he’ll kill you.”
-Ha. I know.
Kol and Rain
returned to the hall.
“Well?”
The forester asked.
- Let’s see what
Blok has to say. Rain answered.
After these words,
Blok came out and said:
- There are two
pieces of news: good and bad.
- Give me a good
one. Forester said.
“He seems to
be alive.
- How’s that? Rain
asked.
“And that’s
bad news, he’s in a coma.
Kol walked over to
Block and gave him a sharp hug, saying:
“You’re a
fucking wizard in a blue helicopter!”
-Be quiet! Be
quiet! We don’t have a first-class hospital here. I don’t have the equipment to
maintain it.
- And what to do?
The forester asked.
- Hope and talk to
him about everything, they say he helps, and let someone watch him, we will
move him to the ward now, and then just wait.
Everyone shook
their heads, and Rain turned his head to Sakura and said:
“Then you’re
going to keep an eye on him.” If you try to kill, we won’t see that you’re
“white”.
Sakura nodded in
agreement. A week had passed, the Soulless One was on the verge of death. The
entire time, Sakura was in the room with the Soulless.
“What’s in
your head?” Sakura asked, “First you torture, then you save, you
torture again, and then you jump under the bullets… Hate…
As soon as she
said this, Grad entered the room. Sakura turned her head at him, he nodded for
Sakura to come out, she got up and left the room, and Grad bowed, sat down on a
chair beside the bed and began to speak:
-Hello. I
understand that I shouldn’t have left, but as soon as I found out, I arrived.
Everything is calm for now, we have received weapons and equipment, now we will
definitely kill these whores! I promise you, I’ll fucking do my best! I hope
you see something good, not all this shit, we’re all glad you’re back, we
missed you, we thought we’d take a break… Relax. We can handle it… Bitch, I
still can’t believe you’re on the verge of death, you’ve been through this, and
now you’re lying here because of this… Whore! Bitch! Well, it can’t be! Grad
shouted, “Okay, it’s time for me to go, and you come back to us.”
Grad said at last and left the room.
-Mimosa! Work
shouted.
Mimosa walked up
to Vork and said:
-A what?
- I’ve found
Sakura.
-Where is?!
- At the Cleaners'
base.
-A what?! What was
she doing there?
Work turned on
camera recording.
“It’s…
Soulless!
-Yes.
-Monster!
- Take a closer
look.
-Where to?
- On the Soulless.
Mimosa took a
closer look.
“Do you mean
he’s dead?”
- Well, there is a
lot of blood, and look, they are carrying him, and he does not move at all, and
the hoodie is covered in blood.
-Increase.
Work zoomed in and
said:
- The quality is
not the best.
“It’s got
holes in it like cheese!”
-Aha. And now for
the fun part. Work said, and rewound to the middle.
- It’s hard to
see.
- You’ll see the
most important thing.
-A what? It’s
“red”!
- yes, look
further.
-What? Did he
close it?
-Yes.
“Is that
him?”
-Yes. I asked the
Player.
“And
Nat?”
- Disappeared,
just like the Bee.
-What is going on?
“I have no
idea, but I think it was a bad idea to play with states, even if he was killed,
what would happen to us?”
- He’s not God.
“Yes, but he
survived, where so many people died that it is impossible to count.
- Hmm.
“What are you
going to do?”
- I’ll ask you
directly.
- Will you go down
to hell?
-No. They must
have a replacement.
-Give it a shot.
At this time, in
the main hall, the Stake, the Forester, the Hail, the Rain, the Falcon, the
Monocle, the Tsar and the Shore gathered. Some were standing and some were
sitting, but everyone was smoking.
-Whore… Those
idiots got into other weird places. Grad said.
“It’s all the
beginning, Rose. Monocle said.
- yes, and the
others supported it. Grad said.
- Honestly, I’m
fucked up with the whole thing. Falcon said.
- You’re not the
only one. The Forester replied, “I lost the whole squad then. He
continued.
“Why the fuck
did he trust her?” Grad asked.
“What would
you do?” Rain asked.
- Fuck him, it
wasn’t clear what to do back then. Grad answered.
“I shouldn’t
have gone to that base. The king said.
-Yes? And what
would we be left with? Those fuckers fucked it all up. Grad said.
- Yes, I know!
It’s just that there are no people anyway, and then there’s this. The king
answered.
“You know, no
matter how much I was afraid and hated him, he always knew what to do. Bereg
said.
- It’s a direct
contrast, I seem to praise it, but it doesn’t seem to me. Forester said.
- How are the
wounded, by the way? Grad asked.
- Yes, everyone is
alive, they will lie down and normal. Kol said.
“What can I
do now?” Grad asked.
- If only you
knew… And that fucking Nat. The Tsar said angrily.
“By the way,
where is he?” Grad asked.
“And the fuck
knows him!” Knocked down a bitch! Falcon shouted.
“How’s it
going for you?” Bereg asked.
- Yes, it’s fine.
We signed a contract with the Whites and now we are formally united. They
listen to me, they fuck the locals, and I listen to the commands of the
Soulless, but I don’t send them. Grad answered.
- Did you crush it
under you? Monocle asked.
- Something like
that. By the way, why is this one hanging around?
“It’s hard to
explain,” said the forester.
- In short, we
went to the warehouse, and he went alone to the main one, and there she was,
and then it was not clear, but when we fought back, we saw that he was lying on
top of her covered in blood, and this one had an empty look and tears. Well, we
took it with us. Rain said.
- Wait, wait. That
is, she has a corpse in her arms, and now she is sitting with it? What kind of
pine tree did you ride into?! Hail shouted.
- Don’t yell! We thought
about it and realized that it wasn’t her. Rain said.
- And what did you
base the theory on? Theorists are fucked!
Before Rain could
speak, the “white” and Stinger approached them.
“Stinger,
what’s that doing?”
- You have a
message. “White” said.
He began to pull
something out from under his hoodie, and a weapon was sharply pointed at him.
“Just try to
throw something away.” Grad said.
- Okay, okay, I’m
slow.
“White”
slowly began to take something out from underneath, when he took out it turned
out to be a tablet, he turned it on and handed it to the Falcon.
-What is this?
Falcon asked.
-Take a look.
The falcon turned
on the video. It was a recording from the cameras.
- Oh well! Falcon
shouted.
“What’s going
on?” Grad asked.
-See. Falcon said
and turned the tablet so that everyone could see.
Everyone’s face
changed, and Grad began to shake.
“Sting, take
it away.” Bereg said.
- What to convey?
The “white” one asked.
- it! Hail
shouted.
When the
“white” was led away, Grad jumped up and shouted:
“I’m her!”
Hail hurried into the ward, flying into the board and shouting:
“It’s all
because of you!” You’re a dumb bitch!
Running up with
Sakura, he lifted her by the hair, causing her to scream. Grad drew his pistol
and continued to shout:
“You’re a
stupid slut!” If your face hadn’t been there, he’d have survived!
-I… I don’t…
Fault!
“What the
fuck?!” Who the fuck?! Who?! Grad shouted and pointed his gun at Sakura’s
head.
-Hail! The king
shouted.
The Tsar ran up
and pointed his pistol at the ceiling, Grad fired.
-Tsar! in terror!
Hail shouted and struck the Tsar in the jaw.
No sooner had Grad
redirected his pistol than he was grabbed by the arms and neck.
- Hail, calm down,
fuck! Shore shouted.
- Put it down,
assholes! Hail shouted.
“Hail, you!”
The forester shouted.
The Tsar stepped
back from the blow and began to help lead Grad away.
“I’m going to
you!” Hail shouted.
Sakura continued
to sit on the floor, not understanding what was happening, after a while she
began to cry.
“What is it
all for?” Sakura said through tears.
She slowly got up
and sat down on a chair, then dropped her head at the feet of the Soulless One
and began to cry even more.
-Calmed down? The
forester asked.
- Not fuck…
-Drink. Falcon
said and held out his glass.
Hail took the
glass and drank the contents in one gulp.
-M… What is it?
- Whiskey.
-Not bad.
“Bitch…
“You knew he
saved her. Bereg said.
- Yes, but I
didn’t think that saving and standing under the bullets were the same thing.
“King, how
are you?” Kol asked.
-That’s all right.
The Tsar said, holding his cheek.
-Forgive me. Grad
said.
- Thank you for
keeping your teeth intact. The king said.
- How did he
survive in the first place? Grad asked.
- Armorer. The
forester answered.
“As if he
knew. Grad answered.
-Aha… Whore!
Hail shouted.
- What are we
going to do with the Reds? The forester asked.
“Fuck knows.
Well, we don’t even have a programmer. Kol said.
-Eat. Grad said.
- Are you talking
about the Player? Bereg asked.
-Yes.
“Well, then
you’ll be in charge.” The king said.
-I don’t know…
“Look, he
gave you the whole city. So I think he believes in you. Kol said.
- Okay, I’ll try.
- We believe in
you. Falcon said.
Everyone shook
their heads in agreement.
“Just don’t
touch Sakura. Monocle said.
Hail made a
displeased face, but said:
“Okay, but
how am I going to manage both?”
- I’ll help.
Monocle said.
-Can? Bereg asked.
- Well, I lifted
the pinwheel into the air.
“Bitch…
Okay, let’s get back to this fucking game. Grad said.
Sakura sat and
stared at the Soulless One and cried.
— What is all this for?.. What did you think?.. You’re Soulless… You shouldn’t give a damn about anyone… You bring people down, and then you save them… At the same time, he himself—” Sakura began to cry even more, “Why?.. You’re a creature that should have died, but not like this…
